Most professionals spend years building their expertise. Then communicate it in a way that undermines it. Your audience doesn't experience your knowledge directly. They experience how clearly, confidently and convincingly you communicate it.

Every organisation has a presentation culture, whether anyone chose it or not. The good news is that presenting is a skill, not a gift. It can be learned by anyone, and built into a culture on purpose. Which quadrant is your organisation in today? #leadership

Think about the last time you sat in an audience and found your mind quietly passing comment on the person at the front. Not unkindly, perhaps, and certainly not out loud, but steadily, the way a mind does when it has been asked to sit still for forty minutes.

Most speaking advice tells you to be more. Louder, bigger, more confident. Almost everything that actually works is quieter than that. Ten rules I keep coming back to after fifteen years of coaching people who present for a living.
